Why isn't there a topic for graphic novels?

Loads of people read them nowadays and they aren't just for teenage boys, despite what some may think! I demand a section for discussion of this kind of literature!

One to add to the above list: "Y: the last man" by Brian K Vaughan. Truly excellent series. No superheroes.

I have been reading graphic novels since the 1990s when I was a student. My local library is great source; our librarian has even started a discussion group.
I like Alan Moore, Daniel clowes, posy Simmonds, Brian talbot but I'll give anything a go. I loved sandman when I was younger and recently re-read it and found it banal, self-indulgent and was really disappointed.There is some really great stuff out there and not all superheroes. Here are a couple I have read and enjoyed;
Castle Waiting
Concrete
Black Holes
We3 ( grant morrison's not normally my taste)
Maus
Tharg's future shocks ( anything by Alan Moore I think is great)
Charley's War
Ghost world
Persepolis
Emma Bovery
Alice in Sunderland
My list could go on...

I have just read Alan Moore's "Top 10" both the 2 books of the main series and the prequel "49er". Very good, best thing I've read of his.
